Vancouver Sleep Clinic // Flaws

Prodigious Australian talent Vancouver Sleep Clinic keeps up his incredible run of form with the recently outed “Flaws”. What’s really satisfying is that he’s not simply re-treading earlier ground, as that familiar Bon-Iver-esque voice gives way to a stark beat covered in ethereal vocals. It’s probably his most immediate moment to date, yet ironically the final third contains his most obtuse, too – as his impassioned cry rings out over glacial production. Given that sort of range, it’s tough to keep patronising him on account of his age; this bloke, young as he is, is simply a really talented musician. Let’s hope he keeps proving us right in 2014.
